Career

[edit]

In March 2017, after playing youth football for Sunderland and Derby County,[4][5][6] Pybus signed for Bradford City[7] and debuted on 30 April 2017, as a substitute in the final league match of the 2016–17 season.[8] In May 2017, Pybus signed a one-year extension to his contract with the Bantams.[9] In February 2018, Pybus was sent out on loan to Bradford Park Avenue[10] and departed the Bantams by mutual consent in April 2018.[11]

On 8 September 2018, Pybus signed for National League North club Blyth Spartans[12] and only stayed at the club for four days and signed for the Norwegian club Tønsberg later that week.[13]

In July 2019, Pybus signed a one-year contract with Scottish Championship club Queen of the South.[14][15] On 21 December 2019, Pybus scored his first senior career goal in the 33rd minute versus Arbroath at Palmerston Park in a 2–0 win in the Scottish Championship.[16] After initially being released by the Doonhamers in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic in Scotland, on 24 August 2020, Pybus signed once again for the Palmerston Park club on a one-year deal until 31 May 2021.[17]

After departing from the Dumfries club at the end of his contract, Pybus signed for fellow Scottish Championship side Dunfermline Athletic on a one-year deal.[18][19] Following the team's relegation in the play-offs,[20][21] his contract was not extended and he left the club at the end of the season.[22]

On 2 August 2022, Pybus signed for newly promoted National League club York City.[23] Pybus made 41 appearances for York City before joining Dorking Wanderers on a three-year contract in August 2023.[24]
